Counting Down :)

My departure date is (almost) official - I'm leaving August 2nd, flying to Newark Liberty, NJ, and then flying from there to Berlin. Facebook has made it possible to connect with some other exchangers that will be on some of the same flights as me! yay! Summer is fantastic, even though I have been sick since the last day of school :( My doctor says it's "allergies" but I think she's just being lazy. Whatever - the freedom that summer brings makes up for it. I've been spending as much time as I can here doing stuff I like & hanging in the sun. Of course working gets in the way of that sometimes but it's not so bad. A rotary conference in MI is coming up and I am so excited! The worst part about all this is the waiting. I wish that I could just get to Germany already. Get the goodbyes over with. I hate goodbyes... Ugh I'm so dreading those. Is there any way I can just skip them? I'm Still working on getting gifts for my host families in Germany.. which is a lot more of a struggle than I thought it would be initially lol. Peace <3
